It (At the moment) provides Cover as it has the Roadblock rule.

Has the Wraith Engine gotten any better with the CID?

And what is considered the least useful or, dare I say, worse Battle Engine in the game?

>Has the Wraith Engine gotten any better with the CID?
Yeah

>And what is considered the least useful or, dare I say, worse Battle Engine in the game?

Whatever belongs to your faction is the worst and is total poo and crap.

Skorne already got a massive update, now it's Cygnars turn to get new stuff

Get more terrain?

Cont.

I have an upcoming Steamroller I intend to use this pairing at. Here's some examples from my relatively small local meta and what I'd do.

>vs Legion (Fyanna2/Thagrosh)
Zaadesh all the way, and it's pretty obvious to my opponent. The list is fairly set versus Thagrosh already as the Soldier's animus counters his feat. I'm pretty sure he brings out Fyanna with heavy spam due to this, in which case I don't need the Archidons or Vorkesh, so bring in the Krea to deal with his shooting, the Bronzeback as another heavy, and the Chef with my last point.

>vs Khador (Zerkova1/Vlad1)
Mordikaar due to the high volume of infantry in both lists seems a no-brainer. I expect him to bring out Zerkova because Mordikaar can't target her with Essence Blast. I take out an Archidon and the Chef, and bring in a Cyclops Shaman to ignore her cloud walls not to mention the list already has Snipe ready for him, and another Soulward so that I can ignore his clouds even more.

>vs Convergence (Axis/Iron Mother)
Zaadesh because I'm pretty sure he wants to use Axis most rounds and he stomped me last time I played due to huge fuckups on my part. I don't need the Cetrati here in the fucking LEAST or the Agonizer because he's trying to TEP me so hard. So I bring in a Bronzeback just to be another heavy, a Krea to minimize the TEP's effect on my beasts (A 16/18 Archidon won't die to one TEP, and threatens to kill it under feat next turn), then my last 5 points get a bit more awkward. A PGMT could clear a charge lane to a TEP of solos before Sprinting out, and my last point is a Chef.

How does it sound, Veeky Forums? Am I onto something? Am I a raging faggot?

>Eyriss3

For realsies, what are you going to even attach her to? I feel like MHSF are less and less useful this edition, unless you're pairing them with Ossyan, and MHIs are pure ehhhhhhh.

Oh wow, one of Strakhov 2's bodyguards is a girl.

Assault Kommando-chan is my new modelfu.

I had the mention of Spears of Scyrah +E3 under Ghyrrshyld in mind, but after considering it I'm not sure I know how to make adequate use of 4Shade in the first place.

Guess I'll just grab a Healer and Faction tokens.
